When Advertising is Wanted.

There's nothing on earth so mysteri-
ously funny as newspaper advertise
ment. The prime, first, last and all-the-
time object Of an advertisement is to
draw custom. 1t is not. was not, and
never will be, designed for any other
human purpose. So the merchant waits
till the busy season comes, and his store
is so full Of customers that he can't get
his hat off, and then he rushes to the
newspaper to put in an advertisement.
When the dull season gets along and
there is no trade, and he wants to sell
goods SO bad he can't pay his rent, he
takes out his advertisement. That is,
some of them do, but occasionally a
level-headed merchant puts in a bigger
one, and scoops all the business, while
his neighbors are making mortgages to
pay the gas bill. There are times you
couldn't stop people from buying every
thing in the store if you planted can
non behind the door, and that's the time
the advertisement is sent out on it's holy
mission. 1t makes light work for the
advertisement, for chalk mark on the
sidewalk could do all that was needed
and have a half holiday six days in the
week but, who wants to favor an ad
vertisement They are built to do hard
work, and should be sent out in dull
days when a customer has been knocked
down with hard facts and kicked in.
sensible with bankrupt reductions, and
dragged in with Irresistible slaughter o.
prices, before he will pay cent. That's
the aim and end Of an advertisement
and if you ever open store don't try tt
get them to come when they are already
sticking out of the windows, but give
them your advertisement right between
the eyes in the dull season, and you viii
wax rich. Write this down where you'll
fall over it every day. The time to draw
business is when you want business
and not when you have more business
than you can attend to already.--St
Louis Furniture Review.

Prohibition Logic

Minneapolis Journal: The Voice, q
Prohibition paper, makes an earnest.
plea for achievements. It laments
that the third party has only 100000
votes out of lO,0O0.000, and points to
Kansas, Iowa and Atlanta as evidence
that there is, hope for the cause of
prohibition.
The Voice is sadly afflicted with con-
fusion of ideas. 1t is true that there are
ouly about SOC, 900 third party Prohihi-
tionists. 1t is equally true that there
are several million Prohibitionists who
will not laeve the old parties. It is true
that Kansas and Iowa have been
carried for prohibition. 1t is also
true that both states are now, and
always have been republican. 1t is true
that Atlanta voted no license. 1t was
done wholly by non-political temper
ance work.
The voice is also afflicted with bad
case of Phariseeism. It recognizes no
Prohibitionists as orthodox who do not
belong to its own little clique.
There is mighty force of public
sentiment in this country opposed to
saloons. It is getting stronger every
day. The Prohibition third party is
about as effective in producing this as a
fly on q coach wheel is in making the
coach go. The fly makes a big bnzzing
The wheel rolls on. He thinks he
makes it go. He is mistaken.

Sham Battle.

The committee having in charge the
management of the sham battle at the
state falr grounds Sept. 18th, are rapidly
completing arrangements. and this event
promises to be the leading feature of the
state fair. Judging from the present
outlook, over l50,0 900 people will witness
it. Nearly every G. A. R. post in the
state have been heard from, and have
accepted almost unanimously the invita-
ton to attend, and many of them will
bring their families with them. a camp
will be established near the grounds,
where all who choose may be accommo-
dated. Free admission to the fair on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday will be
given to all those who participate in the
s:war." The grounds on. the south and
west sides of the fair grounds have al
ready been secured by the committee
to give more room to the contendins
armies and to enable the spectators tc
view the battle in safety. A battery o.
artillery from Wisconsin,, the Unitet
States battery at Ft. Smelling and all the
state artillery will participate. Nothing
but breech loading arms will be used il
action, which have already been secured
and are on their way here 1OO,OOt
rounds of cartridges have been ordered
and so rounds to each piece of artillery

who participated in that battle will b.

ElectrO-Plating COrDses

New York Letter: American genius
has devised the idea of electro-plating
human bodies so that they cannot pos
sibly decay. A working jeweller has for
several months been engaged in the ex-
pertinent of embalming eggs, meat and
vegetables by plating them with gold and
silver, and is convinced that he can. do
the same with human bodies. He re-
Gently exhibited an egg, sandwich
made: of Swiss cheese and o piece of
porter house steak, all so perfectly plat
ed with silver that they cannot possibly
decay. The steak was plated last winter
and the inventor asserts that it will look
the same ages hence. All the fine lines
of each Of the articles named were pre-
served. He further says that it will be
easier to electro-plate the human body
than eithersthe steak or cheese sand
sa ich. Il " y - '.5-.
The embalming adopted by the Amer
lean Indians and Egyptians, was far
more difficult than his electro plating
process. Their plans shriveled up the
body, while modern embalming preserv-
es it about the same size as in life for q
long time after death. A body thus em-
balmed, the inventor says, can, within a
liirited time, be covered with ali electro
plating of gold, silver or copper, and
made to last for ages. When thus plated
the individuals themselves will take the
place of statuary. The inventor thinks
it would be pleasant in the coming years
to be able to gold plate and keep intact
upon beautiful pedestals all the national
celebrities. So enthusiastic upon the
subject is the inventor that he asserts
that metallic embalming is destined tc

A st. Paul gentleman was once travel

A st. Paul gentleman was once travel
ing in Europe, and, like all good Ameri.
cans, visited Paris. He was troubled
with an affection of the eyes and called
upon very celebrated oculist for advice.
After waiting for some time for the
crowd of patients ahead of him to dis
perse, he was summoned, his eyes ex-
amined and he was told what to do to
benefit them. Upon enquiring what the
fee was he was told that it was whatever
he pleased. He protested that he could
not gauge the value of the service and
would prefer that some sum be. named,
but was informed that no fee was ever
charged and that patients paid whatever
they chose, or nothing at all. Uuon the
American protesting still further. the
sum of 40 francs was finally named
equal to about IS Of our money. The
American afterwards discovered that
the physician, one of the most eminent
in his specially in all the world, never
made any charge and received rich :and
poor alike. His income, however, was
very large.-Dispatch. 5t.:.<.55,s 4 !. d.

Cleveland and the G. a. r.

fAp5t -
Washington correspondent says:
The impression is fast growing in
strength here with Grand Army men
that the meeting in St. Louis is likely to
prove the crucial one Of the history of
the organization. There is firm belief
that the administration is determined
lit cannot control the organization for
its own uses next year, OF rather ifthere
seem to be indications Of a solid opposi
tion:to the presidents policy, to split
the organization and in SO far az possible
neutralize its influence. In other words,
Mr.. Cleveland has determined if he can
tosacrifce the magnifcentsociety which
means nothing to him upon the altar Of
his own ambition. This determination
is evinced most emphatically in a recent
interview with Commissioner Black,
whose bitterness shows how deeply the
administration has { been wounded.
Black has been the display soldier of the
administration. On every occasion he
has been pushed forward as an evidence
ofwhat the administration is doing for
the soldier, aud his frequent absences
from hisduty to look after his interests
have always been bulletined for the
press 6yS the faithful subordinates; at his
office. He was sent out as peacemak-
er when the first indignant outcry from
the Grand Army at the course of the
president was heard. His lack of sue
cess has disappointed both him and the
president, and the first indications of
the final purposes of the administration
are shown i'll Gen. Blacks statement
made to a reporter, as follows:
When the Grand Army shall 30 choose
III the great national council, either by
the assertion Of new principles or by the,
election of utterly unworthy and bitter
ly partisan men, to declare that it is
partisan organization, and to take sides
for one party and against another, it will
in itself release every man from the OBJ
legation which he assumed upon entering
the order, and will leave every Demo-
cratic soldier free to shake off all allegi-
ance. | can only speak for myself. I
DO not represent any man in what say,
but the above is the course which I have
marked out for myself.
Grand Army men here will say little,
but the feeling among the leaders is very
strong, and will show itself without stint
at st. Louis.

Throughout New York State.
Threeof the Eve candidates on the.
New York state ticket of the United La
Dor party have expressed themselves
thus: .sz
Henry George-My election would
mean the triumph in the, Empire state
of the fundamental truth that all men
are created equal and are endowed by
their Creator with the inalienable rights
to the use. of all He has provided for the
maintenance of life and the application
Of labor, and correlatively that all men
are entitled to full use and enjoyment
without any deduction by taxation of all
the wealth that their industry, energy,
prudence and thrift enable them to pro-
duce and accumulate. A very large vote
will at once bring the party to the front
all over the country as the coming par
ty. 1t will combine under one banner
all the various labor movements that
have been springing up over the United
States. 1t will largely draw to it's ranks
from the Republican party and will split
the Democratic party into two parts,
one Of which will join the standard Of
the United Labor party and the other
combine with the Republicans in the
formation Of party in opposition to our
principles.

are Progressing in st. Paul.
.'Hi! there, Jakay,'' yelled a red
headed boy whose throat was taking .
Sunday evening vacation from crying
the daily papers, Come along an see
de Sunday school chippies and monkey
sojers wild de horse drum al de brass
plates" A bass drum sounded, a snare
drum ratified, cymbals clashed and to
the step Of a marching song the Saliva
ton Army, about forty strong, swung
off up Minnesota street on its regular
Sunday night parade. A much larger
crowd than usual followed the army,
and, growing block by block, numbered
fully thousand when the armory at
Fifth and Minnesota streets was re-
gained. The casualties along the line of
march were two meek street car horses
stricken with nervous debility, one spec
tator's pet corn corked by a frightened
buggy horse, and another horse scared
out Of years growth by the strange
noise. The hall was packed early, and
the number Of well dressed people was
noticeably greater than eyer before. Not
withstanding the notoriety attained BY
the army, comparatively. few people
know much about it's inside working,
and great many of the thoughtless re-
fer to it as did the red.headed newsboy.
Orthodox church members do not sup
port or countenance it, the street loafers
jeer at it, and in some cities like Kansas
City the organization is forbidden under
heavy penalties from parading the street
upon week days as we'll as Sundays, but
the army goes right along, increasing in
numbers and influence, and really MAX
ing converts, if the testimony of the al
legged redeemed can be believed. The
question is often asked, "How do these
people live 2" They answer that their
expenses are paid by contributions,
door receipts and sales of their paper,
the War Cry. They board around at
various places like other people and re-
ceive a regular allowance, graded in
amount according to rank and altogether
have pretty easy time, when sick eggs
and superannuated vegetables are out Of
season, or Il particularly rough crowd is
not encountered. The members of the
army feel very sore over the desertion
of Capt. Leroy, who went to handling
beer in a variety theater, and when
questioned about him suddenly acquire
a far away, weary look, which would
have tendancy to disturb the Capt.'s
dreams could he see it. The general
opinion is that they reach a class other
wise unapproachable, and, barring the
probability Of tearing wheel off a bug
gy once in a while and promoting equine
imbecility with a couple of bass drums,
they have the good will of majority of
respectable people.

Minneapolis, Lumberman: A large
measure Of the present low stage Of
water in the Missippi is attributed to
the fact that neary all the logging dams
are shut down accommodating water.
Major Allen claims to have evidence
that fully sixty-fiye per cent, Of the
natural flow Of water is being withheld
at the persistent time, and this condition
of affairs only ina measure compensated
for by the extra 1ow Of water from the
government reservoirs. IfMajor Aliens
premises are correct, and there is no
reason to believe that they are not, his
desire to have the government assume
control of the logging dams is not un-
reasonable. thought not to. be neces-
sary to shut down the logging dams for
the accumulation Of water until after
the fall rains, save, of course, in the
spring when the driving season is in
force, and IN exceptianal cases where
the use of dams may be instrumental in
bringing out delayed drives. If there
are loggers who are so blind to public
| interest that they feel it incumbent
upon them to withhold water, then
The I,UMBEsMAN will be first and fore
most in advocating the passage Of such
laws as shall prohibit the closing of the
logging dams until after, say the first Of
October. But the remedy for the exist
